Chapter 19: The Damned

~*~*~

He had reached his limit; physically, emotionally and mentally.

For a while now, Sesshoumaru had repressed his primal demonic side and even though it was difficult sometimes, he had managed to gather enough strength to rein it back into control.

However, Sesshoumaru underestimated its capabilities.

Although his primal side was still a part of him, it was still technically another being. They had the same wants, the same goals and they shared the same mind, but the only difference was how they would do certain things.

Sesshoumaru was not only a well-known Taiyoukai for his superiority, his skills and his power, he was also well-known due to the strong ability that he could keep his primal self under full control.

It was a rare thing really.

Not many youkai, especially other Taiyoukai could manage such a feat.

Once a demon loses control or uses its last resort of reverting back to their true form, it becomes nearly impossible to control.

Sure, their true forms were a part of themselves, but their ferocity and urges consumed their own thoughts, becoming a red blurred haze of an uncontrollable animal; literally.

Very few have managed to control their demonic side. Sesshoumaru, his mother and his father were amongst the minority that could change at will and not as a last resort.

Yet, Sesshoumaru failed to realize how easily his control could slip.

Under most circumstances, he could try to rein in his control and make peace with his primal side by gaining a firm hold on his normal mental state; forcing the inner demon back in its rightful place.

But the one circumstance that remained unaccounted for was the fact that Sesshoumaru himself had never been mated before. He was simply applying his usual control methods to an untried experience.

Unfortunately, being in a youkai mating required using one’s own primal instincts; whether it was to sense their mate’s feelings or needs, to be guided to their mate’s location whenever they were in danger…or to help better one seeds’ chances of conception when a mate goes into heat.

There were many aspects of the youkai mating that required his demonic side, whether he was mated to another youkai, hanyou or human; it all tied in to him being the Alpha of the relationship.

For Kagome to constantly challenge his Alpha side, whether she was doing it intentionally or not, caused their mating bond which was primarily dominated by youki, to create a domino effect; triggering his demonic side into taking action to correct her.

And in order to correct her, he must make Kagome submit to him.

Sesshoumaru’s neglect of the mating bond slowly caused certain mating advantages to decrease, which added on to his current frustrations.

He could barely sense what she was feeling at a distance, unless he was within range. Even if he was to travel to the depths of hell and Kagome remained in his castle, with proper bonding, he would be able to sense her emotions anywhere, but now that range had diminished to just barely beyond the borders of his lands.

Before he left the castle after the initial mating, Sesshoumaru was also able to sense what Kagome needed and desired.

Because of that, he was able to determine not only that she enjoyed hot spring baths and needed food, he was able to determine what temperature she enjoyed bathing in, what kind of oil scents she liked and also what kind of foods she preferred; passing along his orders to his servants to ensure that she had what she wanted.

Even though Kagome didn’t take kindly to his and his servants care, initially.

But as the bond continued to falter from their lack of intimacy and his lack of properly asserting dominance over her, sensing what Kagome wanted and needed was one of the first advantages of their bond to go.

And that frustrated not only Sesshoumaru to no end, but his inner demon as well, who believed it could do a much better job of taking care of her instead.

Despite the constant pressure to give in to his primal urges, Sesshoumaru forced his demonic self back inside; waiting patiently in the well furnished and lavishly decorated receiving room of their massive bedchambers that contained 6 other rooms in itself.

The more he waited with Kagome nearby, the more restless and unruly his youkai self was becoming; often rising to the surface, before Sesshoumaru had to force it back in.

One night, he came dangerously close to losing full control, when he found himself in the sleeping room kneeling next to the giant futon that was on the floor; his mate soundlessly sleeping on her side with one arm draped protectively over their resting pups.

The sight of his twin sons managed to snap Sesshoumaru back to his normal self and since then, he never really bothered to enter into any room of their massive bedchambers; opting to go for a nightly patrol of his castle and through part of his lands until dawn.

Deep down, Sesshoumaru knew that his inner demon wouldn’t harm their infant sons, but because he was at the end of his rope by hanging on to the last threads of his control, Sesshoumaru couldn’t trust himself anymore.

Even as a pup, Sesshoumaru had never experience such a lack of control, especially on a daily basis.

It was exhausting, even for him.

Once, Sesshoumaru even resorted to using the Tetsusaiga in a desperate attempt to contain his youkai. Though the sword’s blade was remade from the worthless hanyou’s fang, the hilt of the sword was where the spells and powers resided. It worked temporarily, but the mating bond was even stronger than the spells placed upon his deceased father’s sword.

By now, his normal impassive expression was becoming easier to read to those who knew him and when he came across the fighting pair consisting of Katsutoshi and Makoto, Sesshoumaru knew from their exchanged looks that it was easy for them to physically see that something was deeply wrong with him.

At that point, Katsutoshi requested a private audience with him, offering his own advice, despite being unmated.

Initially, Sesshoumaru angrily brushed off the suggestion; it was far too dangerous to even try.

However, when Sesshoumaru returned to the massive bedchambers to take a calming bath in the private springs, he considered Katsutoshi’s risky idea. Nothing before seemed to have worked and very soon, Sesshoumaru wouldn’t be able to stop the inevitable; having his youkai surface to take Kagome.

After he finished bathing in the hot waters, he found himself standing in the middle of the enormous hot spring; still contemplating his next action. Hesitantly, Sesshoumaru decided to give Katsutoshi’s suggestion a try…

Allow his youkai free reign for a while and if things got too out of control, he could try to intervene.

Katsutoshi was the only other male, besides Shippo and his twin sons, allowed in the main bedchambers, so Sesshoumaru sent a mental message for him to be on standby outside of the bedchambers’ doors, in case things did get out of hand.

With a hard resolve, Sesshoumaru left the hot springs and dried off, before dressing himself in a silken white yukata meant for bed.

As he made his way down the hall of the 6 roomed Master bedchamber, Sesshoumaru heard a small commotion amongst his mate’s private servants as they were whispering excitedly about something outside of the sleeping room.

Upon sensing his approach to the receiving room, where they watched the candle-lit shadows of their Lady and the two wards upon the screen doors of the sleeping room on an elevated platform, they quickly silenced themselves and offered their stoic Lord a nervous, but reverent bow.

Sesshoumaru didn’t need to ask what was going on, as he heard their hushed whispers loud and clear, despite them using the quietest level of youkai voices…

His sons finally opened their eyes.

For the first time in a long while, since he came to realize his true feelings for Kagome, his heart unexpectedly skipped a beat.

His twin heirs were growing. Granted, not by much, but it was still something to be proud of considering that neither of them would be alive without the help of his father’s other sword, Tenseiga.

Which lead him here, into this room…

He stared down at the lovely, but nervously silent miko, who had grown so much into a wonderful mother in such a short span of time, not only in a caring sense, but also a physical sense as he took advantage of her avoiding gaze to admire her nice, slender body that finally filled out with soft, rounded womanly curves.

When Kagome’s stormy blue eyes slowly met his form, she visibly tensed even further as her fear and heartbeat spiked rapidly when she noticed the way he was looking at her.

It was almost as though she was a piece of juicy meat that was tossed into a starving lion’s den; the hungry, intense stare almost reminded her of whenever Inuyasha lost control and was lusting for blood…but, she was definitely positive that it wasn’t blood Sesshoumaru was lusting for.

Anxiously, she held the squirming twins close to her breasts as she glanced at the only escape route from the sleeping room; trying to determine if she was fast enough to slip past the frighteningly silent Taiyoukai.

Internally, Sesshoumaru sighed and silently prepared himself to execute the plan; knowing full well that Kagome was going to be uncooperative, especially when he had saw her consider bolting for the door.

Tonight, would be a test of many things…a test of several limits, his mental control and dominance.

~*~*~

For the umpteenth time, Inuyasha sighed heavily as his eyes scanned the night sky; searching desperately for a sign.

Ever since the dark haired kitsune named, Makoto had shown up with the last news about Kagome nearly a week ago, the hot-headed and deeply worried hanyou had been waiting anxiously on the next bit of news.

The last that he, Koga and Kikyo heard from the kitsune, was that Lady Akane had paid Kagome a visit and had surprisingly held her ground against the former Lady of the West; defending her young pups.

It made Inuyasha proud and also very depressed.

He knew that Kagome would be a great mother to their pups when the time came and that she would love as well as protect them with every last bit of her being. However, it depressed Inuyasha that it was not his own pups that she was defending.

Guilt suddenly started to wash over him.

If he wasn’t such a coward about his feelings for Kagome, then he would’ve claimed her as his own mate back when she would go into heat while traveling with their group. Inuyasha had to stop himself many times from claiming her, mainly because he wasn’t entirely sure of how he felt about Kagome.

He loved Kikyo, but it took him this long to determine that they would never have the type of love they used to have over 50 years ago. With Kagome, however…

She meant the whole world to him.

Yet, Inuyasha let her down. Not only did he failed to protect her by letting her go alone to the hot springs that night, but he also failed his attempt of challenging his disgusting half-brother to reclaim her.

It made Inuyasha’s soul sick that he was too weak to even put up a decent fight to get back the woman that he dearly loved.

It was just one more painful reminder of how he was a simple hanyou weakling compared to his stronger, youkai half-brother.

Even now, Sesshoumaru had the Tetsusaiga in his possession.

Koga watched warily as Inuyasha’s clawed fists curled into tight balls at his sides; causing warm, red blood to trickle out in between his closed fists and drip slowly onto the cave’s stony floor.

“Yo, Mutt-face! You gotta control your anger over there,” Koga called out from the back of the cave, where he was resting against the wall.

Inuyasha’s jaw tightened, not because of Koga, but because of the resentment and pain he felt towards Sesshoumaru.

“We gotta get her outta there! You heard what that fox said…Sesshoumaru is losin’ control and it ain’t gonna be long before he snaps and does somethin’ to her! Hell, he even might try to get her pregnant again,” Inuyasha growled.

At the sound of Inuyasha’s pained voice, Kikyo began to stir awake on the fur covers in the middle of the small cave and offered her hanyou friend a sympathetic look.

The Gods were so cruel. Just when Inuyasha finally made up his mind about the woman he wanted to be with, Sesshoumaru came along and took her for himself.

Koga sighed in frustration as he propped his chin up with the back of his hand and rested his elbow upon his raised knee; trying to gather his thoughts.

“I know, but barging into the Western Lands like this is a death trap and more than anything, I’d bet that bastard brother of yours is just waiting for you to come to him. He knows we’re not dead, but he really can’t leave the castle right now while Kagome is weakened with two new defenseless pups. We can at least count on that part for sure,” Koga explained bitterly.

Koga hate admitting it, but the only saving grace currently for Kagome was that she wasn’t fully healed from a youkai birth and no matter how cruel Sesshoumaru was, Kagome was going to be used for more breeding, so forcing sex upon her now would most likely kill her from bleeding out.

Being the strategic type of youkai that Sesshoumaru was, the asshole that was Inuyasha’s older brother, Koga speculated that he was more than likely going to be careful around this delicate time for the young miko.

But there was another big issue at hand that his ally, Makoto had brought up last time and that Inuyasha had also mentioned.

Sesshoumaru was in fact, losing control of his inner demon, but not because he was crazy...because their Kagome wasn’t submitting to him.

This was bad…very, very bad.

As triumphant as the fact that Kagome was putting up a fight, she was also rendered defenseless, according to the dark haired kitsune. Like Inuyasha, which stood in front of him at the cave’s entrance, Kagome wore a subjugation necklace that not only forced her to do what the Taiyoukai wanted at his command, but also suppressed her miko abilities.

Kagome was very intelligent about many things, but when it came to youkai, she was completely clueless.

It was dangerous stunt that Kagome was pulling, but both he and Inuyasha knew that it was unintentional…perhaps, even the asshole Taiyoukai knew that fact too, however, Sesshoumaru’s inner demon wouldn’t know how to make a distinction; it would only know of her actions towards him and would start to act accordingly.

Makoto said that he would try to keep an eye out for her and the others to help them try to escape, but even Inuyasha seemed to know that time wasn’t on their side.

Their friends were within the Western Lands’ Territory, one of the most well protected and powerful lands of the Four Houses that ruled Japan.

Ever since the last Great Demon War, no one had willingly dared to try to encroach upon the fearsome territory, even Koga’s tribes never bothered to go hunt close to those borders; the West’s powerful armies were compiled of greatest and strongest demons who had served InuTaisho during the war.

Undoubtedly, the Western Land’s soldiers would be on the lookout for the pair of them.

Even Makoto, who was also the West’s ally during the war, was hand-selected to be the Commander of the highest ranking militia within the Western Lands, despite being the former heir of the Northern Lands.

The dark haired fox demon simply accepted the position, because his whole clan was slaughtered during a hostile takeover by coyote demons that left his former lands completely destroyed. Makoto relinquished his birthright and dedicated himself as a soldier for the Western Lands, in return for sanctuary.

It was highly risky for Makoto to command a change in the army’s positioning to allow Kagome to escape or even allow the trio of them into the castle undetected; Koga wouldn’t want to risk more lives of those he cared about.

Koga and his tribe at the time, who were also driven out of the Northern Lands, managed to come back and defeat the coyotes, to help restore Makoto’s rightful position, but it was deemed too emotionally painful for him to return, which was why the Elder of the Wolf Tribe currently presided over the North with his granddaughter Ayame, the Wolf Princess, when Koga separated from them.

The astonishing gesture was what made Makoto and Koga become good friends and was why Makoto would do anything his wolf friend asked, even though Koga wished to free Makoto of his obligation to the West, especially now.

Facing Sesshoumaru wasn’t like a war, where one had to take their many armies to go defeat another.

No, this was a completely different fight that required skilled people, the perfect plan and the biding of time for the perfect opportunity.

He and Inuyasha needed to find a safe place for Kagome to be at when she finally escaped from the Taiyoukai, so that they could reclaim her in peace, without the fear of Sesshoumaru finding her again and slaying the future pups they would have with her.

It was a cruel world they lived in, indeed.

As horrific and malicious as it seemed, it was normal for youkai to seek out and kill pups that were from a previous mating once they reclaimed a mated female. It was their primal instinct to rid of any sign of her former mate, even if it meant doing the unspeakable act of killing her pups.

Koga’s jaw clenched as he thought about the conversation he had with Inuyasha not too long ago, and things in the topic of what to do with her pups sired by Sesshoumaru immediately went down a dark and morbid path.

However, they both decided that they would cross that bridge when it came to that time.

They just knew that Sesshoumaru’s pups would certainly not be in the picture when Kagome was mated to them and keeping them alive elsewhere would pose an even bigger threat when those twins grew up and side with their father.

Koga’s ears began to perk up, as Inuyasha’s ears twitched and Kikyo snapped her head up towards the direction of the cave’s entrance as they sensed someone with power approaching them.

Quietly, a small dragonfly flew up the side of the tall mountain and landed next to Inuyasha’s side as Kikyo and Koga approached the little insect.

For a moment, the dark colored dragonfly did nothing as it sat on the sun-warmed, stony floor and twitched its wings; staring around with its large, round eyes. But then in a poof of smoke, the dragonfly disappeared, revealing the handsome form of the dark haired kitsune.

“Well?” Inuyasha demanded anxiously as he watched Makoto dust off his violet and navy blue colored kimono.

Makoto’s lips thinned into a tight line as he glanced at the waiting trio before shaking his head somberly.

“This is bad… I can’t enter the bedchambers where the miko resides, I can only watch her from the window of her room while in the Master garden-”

“Yeah, we know, ya’ told us last time, Fox! What’s goin’ on with Kagome?” Inuyasha interrupted impatiently, before Makoto raised a dark eyebrow at the hanyou’s rudeness; slipping his hands into the sleeves of his kimono as he folded his arms as he debated as on how to tell them.

There was no way he could’ve informed Kagome ahead of time, so that it may possibly spare her some pain from the released inner demon, but alas, Makoto’s hands were tied and there was nothing that he or anyone could do about it now.

With somber look and a grave tone, Makoto spoke.

“Sesshoumaru has released inner demon and is going to be establishing his dominance on her…tonight.”

~*~*~

It was a long, tense and very uncomfortable silence that had managed to install itself in between the mated pair that currently occupied the giant sleeping room.

Not a single word had been exchanged amongst them since Rin and Shippo had left for bed and the only sounds that filled the room were coming from the pair of bundled up twins that were squirming and whining eagerly in Kagome’s arms.

Kagome knew what her sons wanted and she began to allow a tense frown to mar her face as she gazed down at the wriggling infants. By now, Kagome was almost used to the different sounds that her sons made and just about learned how to differentiate between their cries and whines.

Kagome started to know about their small cries from when they were hungry, tired, needed to be changed or when they just wanted attention…and right now, they were demanding attention from someone in particular.

Kagome could barely suppress a shudder at the thought of her innocent little sons wanting attention and affection from one of the most callous and arrogant beings to have ever graced this Earth.

They wanted to be with their father.

It had been over a week since he was last in their presence and even then the pair of pups was whining for him to be near them. Kagome should’ve seen this coming; Shippo even mentioned once about how hard it was for young pups to be separated from a parent, just like him when his father was killed.

Seishiro and Shinji’s father wasn’t dead however, as much as Kagome wished him to be, but she eventually surmised that it was only natural for them to start wanting attention and affection from the stoic Taiyoukai; emotions that she wasn’t even sure that Sesshoumaru held for them.

Sure, Kagome knew that he seemed a bit protective over them, but the impassive inuyoukai named Sesshoumaru was incapable of love. It just didn’t suit his vicious nature, especially coming from a youkai that raped her for the primary reason of getting back at his half-brother.

Despite being in the room with him for a few silent minutes, Kagome didn’t bother to glance over at him and kept avoiding his intense and uncomfortable stare. She could feel his amber eyes on her and she knew he was intently watching her every move.

It was very unnerving.

Kagome suppressed another eerie shudder as the feeling added on to her current slight trembling.

She wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of letting him know that she was terrified of him, but deep in the recesses of her stubborn mind, Kagome knew that Sesshoumaru was powerful enough to sense what she was feeling and that it didn’t truly matter if she hid it.

Kagome desperately wanted to run like hell to the only door in the room and get away from him, but she knew if the Taiyoukai was going to go after her, then he could very easily outrun her.

She paled at the very thought of being caught by him.

Suddenly, a knock could be heard on the wooden part of the shoji door in front of her; causing a startled Kagome to fearfully flinch and jump a bit at the sound.

She didn’t notice the oddly silent and intensely observant Taiyoukai when he tilted his head slightly at her fearful reaction, as he still continued to stand next to the shoji door.

Kagome had shifted her body a bit nervously and was doing her very best to avoid his piercing amber gaze.

Inwardly, he gave a dark, but amused chuckle as the hawk youkai servant, Atsuko and her daughter, Sachiko entered into the room; carrying out his earlier request.

The whole time Kagome from when the servants had first entered into the room, she also failed to notice the way his long, white bangs shielded his eyes…

The white of his eyes glowed a light red as Sesshoumaru barely held onto his control of his youkai form. He allowed the primal beast to experience the happenings around him and also allowed its thoughts to surface to the forefront of his mind, while simultaneously keeping control of his body; just in case, his youkai wanted to react irrationally.

So…their miko was afraid of them? So much so, that she even considered running out of the door…

Pity, she fears us for the wrong reasons, His youkai side surmised from its observation as he continued to watch their mate with a slight predatory gleam in his amber eyes.

Sesshoumaru’s youkai growled inwardly in frustration.

His normal self that was usually in control, still hadn’t made Kagome submit as he was so deeply concerned about hurting or scaring their mate even further; willing to keep her comfortable to gain her trust.

The inner youkai scoffed at such a notion, especially when his normal side internally expressed his fear about the beast possibly harming Kagome to get her to submit.

Did the normal one honestly believe that he was such a feral, irresponsible nuisance that he would go so far as to harm their own mate; the mother of their children?

The only irresponsible one here was the part of him that suppressed their natural urges to be intimate with the young miko. For such an intelligent, dominant and vigilant being, his normal self made a truly foolish decision on all of their behalves by putting the miko’s comfort above her learning proper submission.

Now Kagome was an untamed mate that challenged their authority and feared them for all the wrong reasons.

Idiotic wasn’t even the word to perfectly describe the decision to keep putting off the lessons on how to properly obey her Alpha.

His primal side couldn’t take anymore of her disobedience; it annoyed him to no end.

“W-what are you doing?” Kagome asked tensely as the pair of female hawk youkai tried to grab the whining infant twin lords from her hold.

Atsuko offered a deep and respectful, yet apologetic bow to the raven colored haired miko sitting upon the plush futon on the floor; her sharp mind quickly coming up with a good excuse.

“You looked exhausted, my Lady. We came back to take the young lords, to allow you to get some proper rest,” Atsuko stated with a gentle, small smile.

She didn’t want to lie to her Lady again, but Atsuko didn’t wish to disobey her Lord.

Kagome swallowed uneasily.

“U-uh, it’s o-okay. I’ll just k-keep them until they fall asleep, d-don’t worry,” Kagome stammered as she turned her body away from the pair of servants; intent on keeping her babies for as long as she could.

Feeling the level of his annoyance rising and his patience thinning to a dangerous level, Sesshoumaru wasted no time with his mate.

“Itoshii, give them our sons,” Sesshoumaru commanded brusquely; his more primal side slightly evident in his voice.

Kagome’s heart felt as though it had dropped from the highest building in Tokyo when she heard his silky, baritone voice and what made it even worse was that he used that word.

Sesshoumaru watched from the door as Kagome’s tensed body slowly relaxed from the control of the enchanted rosary, before she obediently turned to face the two hawk youkai to present them her sons; the telltale purple ring around her irises glowing brightly under the necklace’s power.

Sesshoumaru gave a small, satisfied smirk as he watched the pair of servants grab his whining sons and hastily leave the room after bowing courteously to them.

His primal side was proud and a bit surprised.

Why hasn’t he used this necklace more often? Surely, it would spare them the trouble of some of her disobedient actions.

I needed her to trust us first, Sesshoumaru’s normal thoughts answered back to his youkai.

Once again, his inner demon scoffed at his normal side’s reasoning.

There were other ways to get her to trust them, but letting her run around unchecked wasn’t one of them.

Determined to start properly asserting his dominance, Sesshoumaru strode over to the miko who sat up obediently on the bed; awaiting orders from her Master.

Gracefully, Sesshoumaru sat on the edge of the bed, next to her smaller form and decided to take advantage of the rosary’s effect by gently reaching out to affectionately stroke her soft, wavy dark hair with his clawed hand.

Her hair was as soft as their silken yukata felt after a nice, luxurious bath and it shined like the darkest, most pure and clear lake on a bright full moon night. It was such a lovely contrast paired along with her porcelain white skin. Sesshoumaru was even beginning to feel a bit calmer just by touching her hair alone.

That was until she suddenly started to pull away…

Immediately, an angry and frustrated growl formed upon his lips, before he felt his normal side trying to regain their composure.

Startled by his touch and his growl, Kagome shook off the remnants of the necklace’s effect and use her fear to help motivate her into quickly rolling off the bed; trying to head towards the door.

But something firmly grasped one of her tiny wrists and prevented her from further movement as she tried desperately to sprint towards the door to get out.

Kagome barely managed to get off of the plush futon; her only achievement was placing one, small bare foot on the wooden floor as the rest of her body was being firmly detained on the bed.

The more primal version of Sesshoumaru could feel his other side’s uneasiness about his actions as well as Kagome’s. The normal side intervened when Kagome tried to run from him as he was the one who forced himself to catch her wrist.

Running from his primal side was an awful mistake for anyone to do.

It was simply going to trigger his predatory instincts and Sesshoumaru couldn’t guarantee her safety if that occurred. He was already pushing the limits by allowing his youkai to surface tonight.

“Do not run from me,” Sesshoumaru warned softly as if he was chiding a small, precious child.

Kagome glanced back at him and glared; feeling annoyed.

“Why not?! I’m not sleeping here with you, just so that you can take advantage of me again,” Kagome spat as she tried to yank her hand free from his iron-grip hold, but to no avail.

Although Sesshoumaru’s face remained impassive and cold, as it usually did, his eyes radiated warmth and concern for the young woman in front of him. He could feel his inner youkai trying to claw its way back into control, but he wasn’t ready to relinquish it again just yet.

“You will not sleep anywhere else. I will not allow it,” Sesshoumaru stated firmly as his warm, gold colored eyes narrowed at her statement.

Kagome huffed in irritation as still she tried in vain to pull her arm away; it was as if her wrist was tied around an unmoving, large boulder.

“Not allowed?! This place has plenty of other rooms for me to sleep, so let me go!” Kagome yelled; silently wishing that her powers weren’t being contained by this bastard.

Sesshoumaru fought back another growl that was coming from his inner youkai. It wished to reprimand their little mate for her insolence.

With one firm tug on her tiny wrist, Kagome fell back onto the bed, but instead of landing on the soft futon as she expected, she wound up landing on something much harder.

Slowly looking up from where she landed, her angry blue gaze clashed with his molten gold one, before her mind quickly registered that she was indeed lying on top of the powerful and fearsome Taiyoukai’s hard, chiseled muscled chest.

“No, you are mine and you will sleep here with me,” Sesshoumaru said in a firm and husky yet authoritative voice as his eyes bore into Kagome’s own.

There was something inside of her head that was urging her not to fight with him, to obey him instead, but just as quickly as the thought came, it disappeared.

Wary about his tone of voice and the possibility of him touching her again, Kagome wordlessly climbed off of his larger body; somewhat listening to the thought that had disappeared in her head.

Kagome wasn’t going to argue with him, but she was still going to go sleep in another room.

When Kagome tried to climb off the futon once again, a pair of strong, muscled arms wrapped themselves around her tiny waist; firmly pulling her small frame up against Sesshoumaru’s larger one.

“You are not leaving this room tonight,” Sesshoumaru murmured huskily into Kagome’s ear; which sent an oddly, delicious chill down her spine before she shook off the feeling with disgust; unaware that the youki inside of her had been stirred by Sesshoumaru’s closeness and assertion of dominance.

Kagome had become very infuriated at her situation.

She was defenseless while trapped in a room with a youkai that was a rapist, who wanted her to sleep with him. If she still had her powers, Kagome would’ve managed to find a way to control them, just to purify the living hell out of Sesshoumaru.

“Fine! Then I’ll sleep on the floor,” Kagome declared as she folded her arms; wishing she had the strength to rip off the arms that were wrapped around her waist.

Tired of her disobedience, Sesshoumaru’s control on his inner youkai slipped and unbeknownst to the miko he held, the whites of his eyes glowed a light red once again.

“Itoshii, come to me,” Sesshoumaru demanded as he watched her body relax once again, before she silently turned to face him and allowed him to pick her up bridal style; placing her properly in a lying position on top of their bed.

Sesshoumaru didn’t bother to place the covers over her yet, as he had other plans for her training tonight. Their mating bond required intimate contact and that’s exactly what they were going to do before the evening was over.

As Sesshoumaru lay next to her, he began to draw her closer to his body; spooning her small body against his large one as he tried to enjoy her presence and her sweet, enticing scent.

This was almost all he needed for the time being. If he could hold her every night like this, then he wouldn’t have to worry about the mating bond trying to break his control.

The bond would eventually demand a more intimate way of physical bonding with his mate, but it wouldn’t drive him to the point of near insanity as it did when he had no form of extended contact with her.

Inhaling the lush, peachy scent coming from her silky, wavy hair, Sesshoumaru started to feel a bit better again and not as physically, emotionally or mentally drained as he did before.

The primal youkai smirked against Kagome’s hair; a silent taunt of “I told you so” was declared to the normal Sesshoumaru as he continued to allow his youkai side free reign.

It was quite nice having Kagome this way; so close to him again. The last time he held her this close was when she was still healing while she was unconscious and pregnant with their sons.

It was so peaceful that he could feel himself almost being lulled to sleep by her breathing and her calming, refreshing sweet scent…

But once again, Kagome pulled away; ruining the relaxing moment as she hastily crawled over to the other side of the bed.

Sesshoumaru was almost content with skipping her lessons on submission for the night, almost forgetting about why she needed them in the first place, up until that moment when she broke away from his embrace.

Now, that was just a reminder for him to go through with it; despite his normal side’s need for their mate’s comfort to come first.

His inner demon was brought to the surface for the purpose of dominating her…it was necessary to push her out of the comfort zone, if it would get Kagome to obey them.

But if she wanted to be disobedient and play games with him all night, then he could rise up to the challenge. It would just make her training on submission so much more...tantalizing.

Inwardly, his youkai smirked darkly.

Slightly aroused by the thought of training his miko tonight, Sesshoumaru extended out his tail to the other side of the bed and wrapped it around Kagome’s waist before she even made it off of the futon.

This was going to be an amusing little game tonight.

“Let go of me,” Kagome hissed as Sesshoumaru drew her closer to his firm body; using his large, fluffy white tail that was wrapped comfortably around her waist to pull her from her side of the futon to his side.

His amber eyes darkened lustfully as she struggled like a spider’s prey in his tail’s hold and he was a bit grateful that their pups were taken off of her hands for the night.

“No,” Sesshoumaru said silkily as he watched Kagome kick frantically with a curious glint in his eyes.

Did she honestly believe that she could fight against him?

He just wanted to hold her in his embrace for a while. He desired to be close to the young miko that birthed his pups not too long ago, but seeing her like this…writhing around in their bed was seriously tempting him to fully take her.

Kagome made an attempt to glare up at the Taiyoukai that held her captive and nearly gasped out of fright; nearly jumping out of her skin.

The white of his eyes flashed with a bit of red in it, before it almost settled back to its normal color; a tinge of light red still glowing in his eyes.

Kagome could tell that his inner demon had surfaced and if she wasn’t scared before, she was definitely petrified by now. She knew that everything she did from this point on had to be done with extreme caution.

Inuyasha nearly had no control over himself during his youkai transformation, but with Sesshoumaru being a full blooded demon, she wasn’t sure if that also applied to him.

While Kagome had no intention of being raped again, she certainly didn’t wish to die yet, especially now that she had children as one of her motivations to live.

The miko swallowed nervously as she felt his warm, hard body press up against the back of her smaller frame, her heart racing dangerously as his long and silken white hair cascaded in front of her face from above.

Kagome’s jaw visibly tensed as he carefully rested his chin atop of her wavy, ebony hair and started to examine one of her dark, curly locks in one of his clawed hands.

“Let go of me…please,” Kagome grounded out, before she felt the Taiyoukai behind her give a small frustrated sigh.

“How long did you expect me to neglect our mating bond?” His silky baritone voice asked; the deep vibrations of his voice vibrated against her back and shoulders, causing her to shudder again.

“Forever,” Kagome replied coldly in a tone that Sesshoumaru wasn’t quite use to hearing from her. Regretfully, he released the sweet smelling lock of hair from his hold and began to drape his strong arm across her waist; causing the miko to further stiffen.

“Regardless of how you may feel, I am still your mate for life and our mating bond requires physical contact,” Sesshoumaru stated, quietly inhaling the luscious scent of her hair that also mingled with the sweet mouthwatering scent of delicious, warm milk coming from her achingly swollen breasts.

Forcefully, he suppressed his lustful thoughts and tried to focus on having an actual conversation with his mate for now.

Kagome frowned tensely at his statement.

“I think you’ve had enough physical contact from me to last a whole lifetime,” Kagome snapped back as she struggled against the Taiyoukai’s steel-like hold.

Sesshoumaru closed his eyes tightly; trying his best not to let her writhing against him affect a certain large, appendage that was going to make itself known against her soft ass when it became hard.

Firmly, he pressed his arm against Kagome’s waist to stop her from struggling. She was so dangerously close to fully summoning his inner beast and at that point, Katsutoshi would have to come in here and stop him.

“On the contrary…” Sesshoumaru replied huskily.

In an instant, he had Kagome on her back again as he carefully straddled her waist; still mindful of her birthing soreness. Before Kagome could utter a protest, he drew his face close to the side of her neck where her mating mark was; his heated breath danced teasingly across her shoulder.

As one of his clawed hands exposed the side of her shoulder from underneath her silk, white yukata, the other stroked her ebony hair tenderly.

Kagome drew in a shaky, fearful breath as her eyes widened and cheeks flushed from his closeness.

“I will no longer have you shy away from my touch, mate. Submit to me willingly…or I will find the means to get you to obey again,” Sesshoumaru threatened huskily as his clawed hand stopped stroking her hair and tapped at the rosary around her neck suggestively.

Kagome’s eyes narrowed in response to his threat as her blood began to boil in anger; the heat rising to her flushed cheeks.

A flash of red shone in her eyes as she raised her chin defiantly; inadvertently challenging his Alpha.

“I’ll never submit to you, no matter what you try to do to me,” Kagome stated boldly as she tried to kick the youkai off of her.

Sesshoumaru smirked dangerously as his eyes flashed red in response to hers; triggering his youkai to rise to his mate’s challenge.

He pulled his hand away from her rosary and reached into the opening of his own yukata, retrieving something yellow and blue from the inside.

Kagome’s eyes widened ever further as her blush deepened when she recognized what was in his hand. She started push against his broad, muscular chest, before he quickly and easily grabbed her small wrists in his large, free hand.

Kagome watched as he dangled the blue and yellow sash of his usual attire right in front of her worried face; the red in Sesshoumaru’s eyes deepened in color as he noticed his youki in Kagome’s started to retreat.

“Then perhaps we shall test your limits of pleasure tonight,” Sesshoumaru purred seductively, the more primal side of his youkai had emerged some more and it was evident in his slight change of voice; pushing his normal side further away from control.

He will find a way to break his little miko from challenging him…but he wasn’t going to inflict a single ounce of pain on her body to get her to scream his name loudly tonight.

Besides, the rosary was merely a temporary fix for her submission.

In an instant, Sesshoumaru rose up a bit and flipped Kagome over onto her stomach before he grabbed her wrists again and pressed them against her back; taking the blue and yellow colored sash and tying it around Kagome’s wrists, before flipping her onto her back again.

Kagome’s eyes were wide with fear and filled with unshed tears as she frantically shook her head.

This can’t be happening again…

“N-no…please…d-don’t!” Kagome pleaded brokenly as Sesshoumaru stared down at her; his face mainly impassive, but showed a bit of annoyance.

Did she honestly believe that her words were going stop him? It might have worked with his normal self, but there was no way his youkai side was going to tolerate it any longer.

Besides, he wasn’t going hurt her; in fact, he was going to do the total opposite.

Unashamed, Sesshoumaru’s intense and heated gaze roamed all over her tantalizing, petite yet voluptuous body until his stare fell upon one of the delicious scents that caught his attention earlier; the swollen, rounded mounds that were filled with warm milk for his pups.

The creamy colored mounds of flesh were nicely outlined by the silk of her yukata as it clung tightly to all of her new motherly curves and enhanced their appeal. Even her hardening nipples were peaking against the soft cloth of her fabric; a reaction caused by the youki inside of her offering up its submission to him.

Kagome looked away as Sesshoumaru trailed one of his large clawed hands carefully from the side of her neck and he slowly traced a single, sharp claw from the pulse line of her neck where the crescent shaped mating mark was and against the hard, defined line of her collarbone, until he stopped in between the soft, smooth valley of her enlarged milk-laden breasts.

Kagome squirmed frantically under his touch. She did not enjoy the warm feeling being stirred from the depths of her lower belly as he carefully caressed her body and felt as though her body was betraying her mind for the enticing sensations.

She loathed the stoic, silver angelic-looking being above her as she shot a murderous steely blue side glare at him, while trying to wriggle and kick free from his touch.

But it was to no avail.

It was evident that she was slowly losing this battle as a soft moan escaped her full lips when Sesshoumaru’s large hand gently cupped one of her painfully swollen, milk-filled breasts through the silken fabric of her sleeping yukata.

“S-stop-” Kagome stammered uneasily.

Couldn’t he just leave her alone? If this was to get back at Inuyasha, then he already accomplished that.

Sesshoumaru had shattered one of her dreams of marrying Inuyasha and although she loved her little baby sons, he already shattered another by impregnating her when it should’ve been Inuyasha’s pups she bore.

Amused, Sesshoumaru tilted his head a bit to the side as he watched his beautiful mate struggle against his touch and smirked when he could smell the sweet, heady scent of her arousal coming from between her soft, creamy thighs.

Softly, he stroked the curve of her ample, covered breast and used his thumb to occasionally tease her erect nipple through the cloth of her yukata; causing the stiff little pebble to stain the silk upon it with the wetness of a bit of released milk.

“No. You have disobeyed and challenged me as your Alpha with your impudence, Kagome. For that, I shall reprimand you…” Sesshoumaru stated smoothly as the red in his eyes became more prominent and deepened in color out of lust.

Slowly, he leaned his face closer to the breast that he massaged tenderly and sniffed ravenously at the small stain of his mate’s sleeping robe that held the mouthwatering scent of leaked milk.

Slightly licking his lips and swallowing in sweet anticipation, Sesshoumaru couldn’t help but to give into one of his desires.

Without a second wasted, he tugged at the tied knot of her yukata and stared lustfully at the tantalizing, bouncy flesh that burst free from the confinement of tight, silken white cloth.

Sesshoumaru growled deeply in approval as his razor sharp fangs elongated in his mouth and his large, hardening cock twitched in need; the outline of the growing appendage becoming more pronounced under his robe.

Mentally, he shook off the urge to spread those smooth, warm thighs and fuck her moistening cunt senseless.

Right now, he needed to show her that he was the Alpha…her Alpha. That he was the one who laid down the law around here, that he was the one who would keep her in check and that pleasure would be provided by him and no other male.

Ever.

Kagome shook her head frantically as tears of anger and fear started to fill her eyes.

Before Kagome could even open her mouth to yell further protests, she froze up, before her back suddenly arched as a sharp gasp escaped her lips before she could stop it.

“Ah-”

Sesshoumaru smirked against her heated, flush breast as he licked the hardened nipple with his hot, moist tongue before he enveloped the ripe, fleshy mound with mouth and suckled hungrily upon it as his infant sons did, but in a more carnal way.

He could sense the youki in Kagome submitting to his intimate touch, but deep down he knew it was not enough to make her fully submit to him.

However, it was a start.

Gently, he gave the swollen flesh in his hand a squeeze and was rewarded with a little more of the delicious, warm milk that her body usually provided for their pups as he pinned down her squirming form by the shoulder with his other large, clawed and striped decorated hand.

It wasn’t long before the breast he affectionately tended to became empty. When it no longer provided the creamy, delectable liquid, he reluctantly stopped suckling at the tender mound and gave it a few sensual licks around it to clean the bit of milk that spilled past his lips, before he gave the less swollen breast a soft kiss, as he moved on to the other one.

However, before he started on the other plump mound, Sesshoumaru leaned up to Kagome’s flushed face and gave an arrogant smirk as she closed her mouth tightly to hide a soft whimper that resulted from a wandering touch.

As one hand still pinned down her shoulder to prevent her from moving too much, another one of his hands roamed lightly over Kagome’s soft, smooth porcelain colored skin and it gave her another pleasured filled chill down her spine along with the goosebumps that were starting to rise.

Why? Kagome thought helplessly and dreadfully.

Why was her body betraying her for his disgusting touch?

Kagome couldn’t understand it. She hated him so much…after all he’s done to her, but her body didn’t seem to care.

Little did she know, the youki inside of her was submitting to his will…to his wanton desires and it craved his touch so desperately…

“Will you submit now to your Alpha, now?” Sesshoumaru whispered huskily in his little miko’s ear.

Kagome bit her lip tightly and shook her head negatively; not willing to let a single sound escape from her as she feared that her voice would betray her too.

She will not give in to him.

She will not let him break her strong will and the determination to leave this wretched place with her children.

This monster will never have her mind and will never break her spirit.

Although she avoided his red, glowing gaze, Sesshoumaru saw the look of determination burning in her steely blue gaze.

So, his beloved still refused to back down even though she was losing an uphill battle…

Sesshoumaru growled in an amused, yet dark manner which startled the young miko into closing her eyes tightly from the low sound.

She was a human with the determination of an Alpha inuyoukai bitch…

He refused to let her win.

Not tonight or any night after it.

“Hn,” Sesshoumaru said ominously.

His bitch would learn her lesson, even if he had to fuck that lesson into her tonight, he would.

Without further delay, he moved back down to her other breast and proceeded to give it the same sensual tortuous treatment as he did the other one. As soon as his lips cover her sensitive, hard nipple, Kagome gasped one again and this time she couldn’t help the bucking of her hips; the sensitive area between her thighs growing wetter under his ministrations.

Sesshoumaru could smell the delicious, heady scent of her love juices and knew that he should taste what she had to offer for him. He missed the taste of her hot, wet little cunt and desired to spend the entire night between her thighs.

Kagome still continued to struggle, but it lessened the more time he continued to touch her. She was losing…losing so poorly against the battle of his pleasuring touches.

As soon as he was done with her other breast and it no longer had any delicious milk to offer him, Sesshoumaru slowly made his way down her curvaceous body as he trailed his clawed hands all over her soft, supple skin, before he gave her another soft kiss; this time on her flattened stomach.

He missed her swollen belly filled with their pups, but Sesshoumaru knew that it won’t be long before it would swell again and that filled the Taiyoukai up with a bit of pride.

As he traveled lower to the apex of her thighs, Kagome struggled harder and tried to kick him away as she noticed the hungry, carnal look he was giving her as she panted from his previous actions.

This time, she was too weakened and too winded by pleasure to fully form a sentence.

“N-no…” Kagome breathed shakily as she pleaded with her eyes to him.

She didn’t want this to happen once again…she didn’t wish for her nightmare of that fateful night to return to her anew.

This time, Sesshoumaru sat up upon his knees in between her legs and raised his chin in an arrogant manner at the young miko; scrutinizing her with his red, glowing eyes.

“You will submit?” Sesshoumaru demanded, more than asked with a slight lustful growl.

Kagome hesitated as she screwed her eyes shut again.

She just wanted him to leave her alone and to stop forcing himself upon her treacherous body. She already felt ashamed and disgusted by her response to him.

But at the same time, Kagome didn’t wish to give into him either.

Sesshoumaru didn’t need to wait for an answer. He saw the conflict in her eyes and knew that even if she did say yes, she wouldn’t mean it.

Another sharp gasp escaped Kagome as she felt a pair of fingers slide up against her moist entrance, before the sensation quickly disappeared.

For a moment, there was nothing but silence and lack of movement.

However, after that brief stretch of a reprieve, Kagome slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by the sight of a pair of clawed fingers that glistened with moisture which were mere inches from her face.

Mortified, Kagome turned her attention away from the glistening, wet fingers as she felt even more ashamed of her body betraying her.

Sesshoumaru smirked darkly as he brought his fingers away from her face and started to examine the delectably sweet and wet, stickiness that was upon them.

“Your body does not deny my touch, Kagome. It is very responsive, as you can see. Submit to me and we will end this quickly…or I shall test your level of endurance, in addition to your limits of pleasure,” Sesshoumaru said huskily, before he started to lick his fingers clean of Kagome’s intoxicatingly sweet love juices; silently implying his intentions.

He ignored the scent and feelings of shame and guilt radiating from the little miko below him, as he knew that momentarily those feelings would dissipate and be replaced with ecstasy, the second she climaxed from her orgasm.

No matter what she chose to do at this moment, whether she submitted to him or not, Sesshoumaru was going to finish tonight’s training with her and it was going to result in her writhing in pleasure after he was done.

Whether or not he was going to fuck her in order to accomplish her submission, was going to be completely up to her.

Either way, Sesshoumaru was going to have her scream his name in pure ecstasy.

He was going to make her acknowledge that he was her Alpha by making her come; no pain or subjugation necklaces involved.

Sesshoumaru leaned a bit closer to Kagome’s face as he loomed over her petite body, waiting for some sort of acknowledgement of her submission as he growled questioningly.

Kagome sniffled a bit as she fought back tears of humiliation and slight defeat; giving him no particular response as she averted her eyes from his demanding red stare. The wetness between her legs increased some more as the youki inside of her relished at its stubborn owner’s submission.

Inwardly, Sesshoumaru gave a self-satisfying smirk as he sensed defeat in Kagome’s aura and scent, although he was a little bit disappointed that he would not fully take her tonight as he kind of expected more of a fight from her.

However, that would be saved for another time when the mate pair could experience their climaxes together, the way he intended in the first place.

But for now, Kagome needed positive reinforcement for her wise decision and for that, he would set aside his own carnal needs once again, but for the sake of giving Kagome a well deserved award.

Tenderly, the red eyed Sesshoumaru reached out and cupped her soft face; stroking it lightly with his thumb.

A lone, hot tear of anger slowly rolled down one of Kagome’s pink flushed cheek as she tried to hold back the dam of tears that were waiting to fall from her stormy blue eyes; silently promising herself to escape from this castle or kill the Taiyoukai at the first opportunity that presented itself again…

Kagome flinched as Sesshoumaru leaned over to kiss the mating mark on her neck and nuzzle it affectionately for her cooperation.

“Good…” Sesshoumaru purred seductively against the delicate skin of her neck and the blue crescent moon shaped mating mark that was lying upon it.

With that, Sesshoumaru trailed gentle, kisses and nibbles down her creamy naked, flushed body as he slowly and teasingly made his way back down to where he left off…

…To the heated, moist core of her tight pussy.

Kagome screwed her eyes shut, once again as she wished she wasn’t here…that she lived a different a life where Sango was still alive and smiling at her, where she and Inuyasha could live happily ever after with his pups that she bore and a life with a very dead Sesshoumaru that she no longer had to face.

Involuntarily, Kagome moaned loudly as her back arched from the soft futon once again and sent her thoughts into a pleasure filled haze as Sesshoumaru’s long and warm tongue reached the petal-soft folds of her womanhood.

The night was going to be long, regardless.

~*~*~

The sound of birds chirping loudly and bright rays of the summer, afternoon sun weren’t the things that had awaken her the very next day. If this was another life, another time, then she would gladly step outside to go play out in the sun and enjoy its warm rays upon the grassy earth.

Neither did the pain of humiliation and defeat wake her as she tried her very best to forget what happened last night. Even though she failed miserably to shun those horrible memories as she couldn’t shake what she had also done as a result of her said defeat; the anger, anguish and shame of her aura practically suffocated anyone that had the misfortune of being in the same room as she.

She trembled as her jaws tightened as the memory of her own voice taunted her in her mind.

She cried out his name last night as she climaxed...and it disgusted her to no end.

And he didn’t make her come once…

However, as horrid and fresh as those memories were, they were still not the very thing that woke her up this late, summer afternoon.

No.

It was the feeling of a pair of amber colored eyes that were set upon her petite form from above her as she was lying in the soft, luxurious futon.

But these golden colored eyes…

If there was ever a time to go jump off of a cliff, then now would be an excellent opportunity.

Kagome fought the urge to groan out loud as she cursed her horrible luck, when her eyes met the form of the one standing on the tatami mat floor next to her bed.

With folded arms and an impatient glare, the Former Lady of the Western Lands, who was Sesshoumaru’s mother growled irritably at the young miko occupying the bed of the Master bedroom that was once hers.

Her perfectly shaped nose was scrunched up in repugnance as she was surrounded by the heavy, pungent scent of the human miko’s arousal from last night.

“Wake up, My Lady. Your training continues with me today,” Akane sneered nastily.

~*~*~
